I think people underappreciate the applications with this technology. It&#39;s a quantitative counting device that can go from sample to answer in seconds to minutes (bye bye ddPCR). Some applications will clearly require an upstream DNA extraction. You can&#39;t do liquid biopsy without sampling at least 10mL of blood, but the speed and ease of use of this device is revolutionary. There will be a lot of applications where this is immediately beneficial. Can you imagine converting any ELISA into a cheek swab test that takes seconds? That will be a boon for infectious disease research and in field diagnostic testing, just to name one application.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36768584.post-74873386893329033062017-01-07T09:01:48.161-05:002017-01-07T09:01:48.161-05:00Kat Holt (@DrKatHolt) pointed me on Twitter to 2PG...Kat Holt (<a href="https://twitter.com/DrKatHolt" rel="nofollow">@DrKatHolt</a>) pointed me on Twitter to 2PG&#39;s publication on the fundamental technology, a <a href="http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0154426" rel="nofollow">May 2016 PLoS One paper &quot;Nanopore-Based Target Sequence Detection&quot;</a>Keith Robisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765318239070312590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36768584.post-12529545924665357732017-01-06T11:43:41.701-05:002017-01-06T11:43:41.701-05:00Looks like they&#39;ll be involved in the liquid b...Looks like they&#39;ll be involved in the liquid biopsy space as well: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20170106005133/en/Pore-Guys-UCSF-Collaborate-Liquid-Biopsy-StudyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36768584.post-2390780350881401292017-01-06T06:47:34.251-05:002017-01-06T06:47:34.251-05:002PG have what looks as exciting as ONT did in 2012...2PG have what looks as exciting as ONT did in 2012...a handheld device that can be used to assay biology -easily.
